This is a production problem with Rails 1.2.2. I have a sessions controller with the following actions: new, create, destroy.
I am using named route resources, with a route like this in config/ routes.rb: map.resources *%w(post_states sessions)
In a layout, I have this logout link: link_to 'logout', session_path(session), :method => :delete
When this link is clicked in FireFox on Windows XP or any Mac browser, Rails does what is expected, it generates a call to the destroy method of the sessions controller:
Processing SessionsController#destroy (for 24.218.10.234 at 2007-03-12 20:13:20) [DELETE] Session ID: 45bbfc98cbfe99eaf4a03fbe8cf4a3a2 Parameters: {"_method"=>"delete", "action"=>"destroy", "id"=>"#<CGI::Session:0x9924024>", "controller"=>"sessions"} Redirected to http://www.mysite.com/sessions/new Completed in 0.03335 (29 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.00000 (0%) | 302 Found [http://www.mysite.com/sessions/%23<CGI::Session:0x9924024>\]
Here's the problem. When the link is clicked in IE6, Rails tries to call the index action of the sessions controller:
Processing SessionsController#index (for 24.218.10.234 at 2007-03-12 19:49:41) [DELETE] Session ID: 1011df9da58b75f0b2c9634dd3d44d49 Parameters: {"_method"=>"delete", "action"=>"index", "controller"=>"sessions"}
ActionController::UnknownAction (No action responded to index)
Any insights would be appreciated. I have other controllers which make delete requests on named controllers, and those actions run without incident.
